Description

Mindfulness – the statistics

There has been an explosion of research on what are known as ‘contemplative sciences’; Mindfulness is one of these types of science. All of the research that we have found reinforces the fact that Mindfulness, meditation and other contemplative sciences can significantly reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety and other nervous disorders.

An ICM Survey of GP’s in the UK made the following findings:

72% of GPs think it would be helpful for their patients with mental health problems to learn Mindfulness meditation skills

66% of GPs say they would support a public information campaign to promote the potential health benefits of Mindfulness meditation

64% of GPs think it would be helpful to receive training in Mindfulness skills themselves.

This powerful course will teach you everything that you need to know about Mindfulness and how to start using the techniques and principles in your daily life.
